Ralph Fiennes as a drug dealing cop in an alternate 2000. Kathryn Bigelow’s direction is assured and confident, and far more inspired than that of her ex-husband’s. Sadly, the film is bogged down in dated imagery and ideas to the point that it hurts the film. Powerful performances and a thrilling plot are undermined by the flaws.

Remember when the future was year 2000? A good thriller. The sci-fi element, the drug, is only a plot device so don't search for hidden meanings as the story proceeds. A great performance from Fiennes.

Strange Days: orbits around a plot that could potentially have a new perspectives into the human mind, but refuses to delve deeper.

Wobbling back and forth across the line between greatness and unbearable cheesiness like few other films.

Overly long and drags on in some places but I quite enjoyed it. Bigelow has an eye for direction, making things look and feel realistic. I Also think that Ralph Fiennes is great, almost like he was channelling James Woods. Best James Cameron screenplay, wonder what this would have looked like had he directed it.

I wish we could rate half stars because 3 stars's not enough for this one. I really enjoyed watching it, not as great as the hurt locker but it has it's kicks. Definitely a favorite now. Kudos for the soundtrack.

Bigelow overcomes James Cameron's frankly terrible script and makes a damned good movies, with three great performances from Ralph Fiennes, Angela Bassett, and Juliette Lewis.

Personal favorite Bigelow? Maaaybe. Though Point Break kicks ass, and The Hurt Locker is justifiably great

Very enjoyable, but not necessarily the underrated gem that it's been heralded as. One of those movies that was inevitably cursed to be quickly dated, it was a very cool concept nonetheless.
